Viscount Hart Highgate has decided to put his rakish ways
behind him and finally get married. He may adore a good
brandy or a high-speed carriage race, but he takes his
duties as heir to the earldom seriously. Now all he has to
do is find the right kind of woman to be his bride—ideally,
one who’s also well-connected and well-funded. . .

Meg Timmons has loved Hart, the brother of her best friend,
ever since she was an awkward, blushing schoolgirl. If only
she had a large dowry—or anything to her name at all.
Instead, she’s from a family that’s been locked in a bitter
feud with Hart’s for years. And now she’s approaching her
third London season, Meg’s chances with him are slim to
none. Unless a surprise encounter on a deep, dark night
could be enough to spark a rebellious romance. . .for all time?
